Throughly enjoyed our short stay, will certainly be back
Pros:

The Friendly staff on arrival, they advised us to book for dinner that night as the Dairy Awards were being held that night.
Went down to the bar for a drink and had lovely cocktails before dinner.
The dinner was beautiful, my husband had steak and he said it was perfection. Unfortunately i became quite unwell and had to leave before our second night.
